We'd rather see a sermon than to hear one any day.
We'd rather one would walk with us than merely show the way.
The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear.
Fine counsel is important, but your example's have been so clear.
Your the best of all preachers because you've lived the creed,
for to see the good in action is what everybody needs.
We have learned how to do it, because you let us see it done.
We have watched your hands in action though your tongue too fast may run.
The lectures you've delivered have been very wise and true,
and we've learned even more by observing what you do.
For we may misunderstand you and the fine advice you give,
but there's been no misunderstanding in how you act and live.

Thank you for always keeping it so real!! We love you and are so grateful for you and your family - you have poured out your lives for us. Bless you for all you have done for us.
